Perfect condition, as if it had just been printed. I did not care for the way this book presented the facts. Just a boring read. I must admit, I bought this book only because it was required for class. It was required text - wish I'd found it used because I will never read it and won't recommend it. Maybe I can sell it at a yard sale to some unsuspecting soul. It's dry and extremely intellectual disclaimer: I consider myself of above average intelligence and am interested in globalization. There's not an interesting sentence in the book. A total waste of money and I let the instructor know.

He only had us read the first chapter anway Hopkins, the editor, begins the book by underlining the growing urgency of the question of globalization, which has been made plain by terrorist attacks around the world, by conflict in the Middle East, and by the changes caused by expanding global trade. Such a pressing issue thus demands a thoughtful analysis. But scholarship on globalization has been dominated by economists, journalists, and political commentators who are primarily concerned with present events, while existing historical commentary has largely failed to approach the history of globalization with a sufficiently broad perspective.

The authors of the nine essays that constitute this book seek to correct this gap in knowledge by emphasizing the non-Western origins of globalization and by expanding its inquiry to cover the last years.

History of globalization

Well worth having for any student of trading history or any person actually wanting to make trading connections abroad. Very useful to know what has gone before. One person found this helpful. Bayly's book brings together some of the most able historians of global history in order to explore how conceptions of our world as a whole have changed, and are continuing to change.
